With reference now to the drawings, and in particular to FIGS. 1-8 thereof, a new manual golf cart embodying the principles and concepts of the present invention and generally designated by the reference numeral 10 will be described.
More specifically, it will be noted that the manual golf cart 10 comprises a cycle 12 including a steerable front wheel 14 and a pair of spaced rear wheels 16 rotatably mounted to a frame 18, as shown in FIGS. 1-3. A seat 20 is mounted to a portion of the frame 18 and is operable to receive and support an individual thereon. A pedal assembly 22 is rotatably coupled to the frame 18, as shown in FIG. 2, and mechanically coupled by an unlabeled chain to a rear wheel shaft 24 to which the spaced rear wheels 16 are mounted. A plurality of unlabeled gears are mounted to the rear wheel shaft 24, with a derailleur being engaged to the chain and selectively operable to position the chain over a desired one of the gears in a conventional manner. As shown in FIG. 5, the frame 18 includes a pair of spaced axle mounts 26 each having a bearing 28 to rotatably support the rear wheel shaft 24 relative to the frame. To effect steering of the cycle 12, a handle bar 30 extends through a portion of the frame 18 and is operable to effect steering rotation of the front wheel 14 about a somewhat vertical axis.
As shown in FIGS. 1-4, the present invention 10 includes a golf bag holding means 32 for supporting and securing a golf bag 34 relative to the cycle 12. To this end, the golf bag holding means 32 comprises a substantially semi-cylindrical member 36 having a reduced center portion 38 extending upwardly from a flat base member 40. The reduced center portion 38 terminates at an upper distal end thereof in a pair of arcuate lateral arms 42 which extend at least partially about the golf bag 34 when the same is positioned within the golf bag holding means 32. A lower strap 44 is coupled to the semi-cylindrical member 36 proximal to the flat base member 40 and can be extended about the golf bag 34 to secure the same to the golf bag holding means 32. Similarly, an upper strap 46 extends from the arcuate lateral arms 42 and can be selectively coupled about the golf bag 34 to further secure the same to the golf bag holding means 32. The semi-cylindrical member 36 is secured to the frame 18 of the cycle 12 by a pair of support brackets 48 which extend from the flat base member 40 outwardly to engage the axle mounts 26 on respectively opposed sides of the golf bag holding means 32. As shown in FIG. 5, a threaded fastener 50 extends through the support bracket 48 to secure the bracket to the respective axle mount 26 of the frame 18. The golf bag holding means 32 is further secured by a brace member 52 which extends between the frame 18 and an upper portion of the semi-cylindrical member 36 between the arcuate lateral arms 42. By this structure, the golf bag holding means 32 permits an associated golf bag 34 to be securely coupled to the cycle 12 for transport about a golf course or the like.
Referring now to FIGS. 6 and 8, it can be shown that the manual golf cart 10 of the present invention further comprises a drink holding means 54 for supporting a beverage container relative to the frame 18 of the cycle 12. To this end, the drink holding means 54 preferably comprises an extension bracket 56 fixedly secured to a forwardmost portion of the frame 18. The extension bracket 56 extends from the frame 18 and is fixedly secured to a closed bottom cylinder 58 having interior insulation 60 extending coextensively about an interior side wall surface of the closed bottom cylinder, whereby a beverage and or the like can be frictionally received within the cylinder and retained therein.
Referring now to FIG. 7 with concurrent reference to FIG. 6, it can be shown that the manual golf cart further comprises a writing pad means 62 for supporting a writing instrument 64 and a scorecard 66 relative to the frame 18 of the cycle 12. The writing pad means 62 of the present invention 10 preferably comprises a cylindrical clamp 68 secured about a handle bar neck 70 of the handle bar 30. An L-bracket 72 extends from the cylindrical clamp 68 and is secured to a planar member 74 so as to support the planar member in a substantially orthogonal orientation relative to the handle bar neck 70. The planar member 74 includes a substantially flat top surface upon which the scorecard 66 can be retained by a spring loaded clip 76, and further includes a pocket 78 for receiving and securing the writing instrument 64 thereto. Because the writing pad means 62 is coupled to the handle bar neck 70, the planar member 74 can be rotatably positioned relative to the frame 18 of the cycle 12 through a rotation of the handle bar 30, whereby a writing procedure can be accomplished on either side of the manual golf cart 10. In other words, an individual residing on a left side of the manual golf cart 10 can rotate the handle bar 30 to the right so as to position the writing pad means 62 in a proximal position relative to the individual. Such movable positioning of the writing pad means 62 provides for ease of score keeping during a golf game or the like.
As to a further discussion of the manner of usage and operation of the present invention, the same should be apparent from the above description. Accordingly, no further discussion relating to the manner of usage and operation will be provided.
With respect to the above description then, it is to be realized that the optimum dimensional relationships for the parts of the invention, to include variations in size, materials, shape, form, function and manner of operation, assembly and use, are deemed readily apparent and obvious to one skilled in the art, and all equivalent relationships to those illustrated in the drawings and described in the specification are intended to be encompassed by the present invention.
Therefore, the foregoing is considered as illustrative only of the principles of the invention. Further, since numerous modifications and changes will readily occur to those skilled in the art, it is not desired to limit the invention to the exact construction and operation shown and described, and accordingly, all suitable modifications and equivalents may be resorted to, falling within the scope of the invention.
